A few notes before you start copy-pasting:
+
 
+
# Lines that start with <tt>#</tt> don't have to be ''copy-pasted''. They are just comments to let you know what's going on.
+
# One wrong character is enough for breaking this guide, so make sure you can read the characters properly or that the installed language system does not break the copied characters!

<ol>
+
<li>Switch to ''root'' mode (administrator) and install the necessary packages (run one line at a time):
+
<bash>sudo -s
+
 
+
#if the 'sudo' command tells you're not in the sudoers list,
+
#then remove the # from the next line:

openmpi-bin libopenmpi-dev mercurial qt4-dev-tools libqt4-dev gnuplot \
+
libreadline-dev libncurses-dev libxt-dev
+
 
+
exit</bash></li>
+
<li>Set-up the base folder where foam-extend-3.0 will be installed (here you can copy-paste all in single go):
+
<bash>cd ~
+
mkdir foam
+
cd foam
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>The next command will depend on the repository mirror you want to use:
+
* Extend's official repository: <bash>git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Extend's official repository (''https'' mode, if you're behind a firewall): <bash>git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror at repo.or.cz repository: <bash>git clone git://repo.or.cz/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror at repo.or.cz repository (''http'' mode, if you're behind a firewall): <bash>git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github repository: <bash>git clone https://github.com/Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
</li>
+
 
+
<li>After the cloning is complete, go into the cloned folder and switch to the {{tt|master}} branch:
+
<bash>cd foam-extend-3.0
+
git checkout master</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Configure the preferences file:
+
<bash>cp etc/prefs.sh-EXAMPLE etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
#Use the system compiler and configure to use Gcc 4.6
+
echo "export WM_COMPILER=Gcc46" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
# Use the system installation of OpenMPI
+
sed -i s/"#export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/"export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"#export OPENMPI_DIR=path_to_system_installed_openmpi"/"export OPENMPI_DIR=\/usr"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"^#export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/"export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
# Use the system installation of Qt
+
sed -i s/"#export QT_DIR=path_to_system_installed_qt"/"export QT_DIR=\/usr"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"#export QT_BIN_DIR=\$QT_DIR\/bin"/"export QT_BIN_DIR=\$QT_DIR\/bin"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
#here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
+
echo "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Now to do several more necessary fixes:
+
<bash>#Create a symbolic link for gmake
+
ln -s /usr/bin/make bin/gmake
+
 
+
#disable X dependencies in tecio
+
sed -i -e 's=\(U_WIN32\)$=\1 -DENGINE=g' \
+
applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToTecplot360/tecio/tecsrc/Make/tecioOptions
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>For building 1.6-ext itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i686 or x86_64 architecture of Ubuntu. To check this, run:
+
<bash>uname -m</bash>
+
Now, accordingly:
+
<ul>
+
<li>For i686:
+
<bash>echo "export WM_ARCH_OPTION=32" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
# repair broken template maximum
+
sed -i 's/template-depth-40$/template-depth-200/' wmake/rules/linuxGcc46/c++
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>For x86_64:
+
<bash>
+
# repair broken template maximum
+
sed -i 's/template-depth-40$/template-depth-200/' wmake/rules/linux64Gcc46/c++
+
</bash></li>
+
</ul>
+
</li>
+
 
+
<li>''Activate'' the environment and save it in the personal {{tt|.bashrc}} file:
+
<bash>source etc/bashrc
+
 
+
echo "source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/etc/bashrc" >> $HOME/.bashrc
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Build the several stages of the {{tt|ThirdParty}} folder in a single go:
+
<bash>cd ThirdParty
+
 
+
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 5 to 30 minutes
+
./AllMake.pre > log.AllMake 2>&1
+
 
+
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
+
./AllMake.pre > log.AllMake 2>&1
+
 
</bash>
 
</bash>
</li>
 
  
<li>To check if everything went well:
+
Then create an additional link:
<bash>#Edit the file "log.AllMake" and check if there are any error messages
+
<bash>sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake
#Example:
+
gedit log.AllMake
+
 
+
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
+
#or if you don't understand the output
+
#and attach the file "log.AllMake.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
+
tar -czf log.AllMake.tar.gz log.AllMake
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Now let's build foam-extend-3.0:
+
<bash>#Go back to the main folder and update the environment
+
cd ..
+
source etc/bashrc
+
 
+
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.
+
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
+
 
+
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
+
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>To check if everything went well:
+
<bash>#Check if icoFoam is working
+
icoFoam -help
+
 
+
#Edit the file "make.log" and check if there are any error messages
+
#Example:
+
gedit make.log
+
 
+
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
+
#or if you don't understand the output
+
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
+
tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Now build swak4Foam:
+
<bash>ThirdParty/AllMake.stage5 > log.AllMake.stage5 2>&1
+
ThirdParty/AllMake.stage5 > log.AllMake.stage5 2>&1
+
 
</bash>
 
</bash>
</li>
 
  
<li>Now you can go read the User Guide, which is located at {{tt|$HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/doc/Guides-a4/UserGuide.pdf}}.</li>
+
Then continue following the instructions on the previous page, subsection [[Installation/Linux/foam-extend-3.0#Installing from source code|Get the source code]].

* Extend's official repository: <bash>git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Extend's official repository (''https'' mode, if you're behind a firewall): <bash>git clone https://git.code.sf.net/p/openfoam-extend/OpenFOAM-1.6-ext foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror at repo.or.cz repository: <bash>git clone git://repo.or.cz/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror at repo.or.cz repository (''http'' mode, if you're behind a firewall): <bash>git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
* Mirror Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror@github repository: <bash>git clone https://github.com/Unofficial-Extend-Project-Mirror/openfoam-extend-OpenFOAM-1.6-ext.git foam-extend-3.0</bash>
+
</li>
+
 
+
<li>After the cloning is complete, go into the cloned folder and switch to the {{tt|master}} branch:
+
<bash>cd foam-extend-3.0
+
git checkout master</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Configure the preferences file:
+
<bash>cp etc/prefs.sh-EXAMPLE etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
#Use the system compiler and configure to use Gcc 4.8
+
sed -i s/"compilerInstall=System"/"compilerInstall=System"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
echo "export WM_COMPILER=Gcc48" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
# Use the system installation of OpenMPI
+
sed -i s/"#export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/"export WM_MPLIB=SYSTEMOPENMPI"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"#export OPENMPI_DIR=path_to_system_installed_openmpi"/"export OPENMPI_DIR=\/usr"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"^#export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/"export OPENMPI_BIN_DIR"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
# Use the system installation of Qt
+
sed -i s/"#export QT_DIR=path_to_system_installed_qt"/"export QT_DIR=\/usr"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
sed -i s/"#export QT_BIN_DIR=\$QT_DIR\/bin"/"export QT_BIN_DIR=\$QT_DIR\/bin"/g etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
#here you can change 4 to the number of cores you've got
+
echo "export WM_NCOMPPROCS=4" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>Now to do several more necessary fixes:
+
<bash>#Create a symbolic link for gmake
+
ln -s /usr/bin/make bin/gmake
+
 
+
#disable X dependencies in tecio
+
sed -i -e 's=\(U_WIN32\)$=\1 -DENGINE=g' \
+
applications/utilities/postProcessing/dataConversion/foamToTecplot360/tecio/tecsrc/Make/tecioOptions
+
</bash></li>
+
 
+
<li>For building 1.6-ext itself, it depends on whether you have installed the i686 or x86_64 architecture of Ubuntu. To check this, run:
+
<bash>uname -m</bash>
+
Now, accordingly:
+
<ul>
+
<li>For i686:
+
<bash>echo "export WM_ARCH_OPTION=32" >> etc/prefs.sh
+
 
+
#copy the rules from ''Gcc46'' to ''Gcc48''
+
cp -r wmake/rules/linuxGcc46 wmake/rules/linuxGcc48
+
 
+
# due to stricter name lookup rules in 4.8 we need to tell the compiler to lighten up on this
+
sed -i 's/^\(c++FLAGS.*\)/\1 -fpermissive/g' wmake/rules/linuxGcc48/c++
+
 
+
# repair broken template maximum
+
sed -i 's/template-depth-40$/template-depth-200/' wmake/rules/linuxGcc48/c++
+
 
</bash>
 
</bash>
Note: fix for the {{tt|c++}} file was retrieved from [http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/108486-walkthrough-installation-openfoam-1-6-ext-opensuse-12-2-64-bit.html here].</li>
 
  
<li>For x86_64:
+
Then create an additional link:
<bash>#copy the rules from ''Gcc46'' to ''Gcc48''
+
<bash>sudo ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/gmake
cp -r wmake/rules/linux64Gcc46 wmake/rules/linux64Gcc48
+
 
+
# due to stricter name lookup rules in 4.8 we need to tell the compiler to lighten up on this
+
sed -i 's/^\(c++FLAGS.*\)/\1 -fpermissive/g' wmake/rules/linux64Gcc48/c++
+
 
+
# repair broken template maximum
+
sed -i 's/template-depth-40$/template-depth-200/' wmake/rules/linux64Gcc48/c++
+
 
</bash>
 
</bash>
Note: fix for the {{tt|c++}} file was retrieved from [http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/openfoam-installation/108486-walkthrough-installation-openfoam-1-6-ext-opensuse-12-2-64-bit.html here].</li>
 
</ul>
 
</li>
 
 
<li>''Activate'' the environment and save it in the personal {{tt|.bashrc}} file:
 
<bash>source etc/bashrc
 
 
echo "source $HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/etc/bashrc" >> $HOME/.bashrc
 
</bash></li>
 
 
<li>Build the several stages of the {{tt|ThirdParty}} folder in a single go:
 
<bash>cd ThirdParty
 
 
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 5 to 30 minutes
 
./AllMake.pre > log.AllMake 2>&1
 
 
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
 
./AllMake.pre > log.AllMake 2>&1
 
</bash>
 
</li>
 
 
<li>To check if everything went well:
 
<bash>#Edit the file "log.AllMake" and check if there are any error messages
 
#Example:
 
gedit log.AllMake
 
 
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
 
#or if you don't understand the output
 
#and attach the file "log.AllMake.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
 
tar -czf log.AllMake.tar.gz log.AllMake
 
</bash></li>
 
 
<li>Now let's build foam-extend-3.0:
 
<bash>#Go back to the main folder and update the environment
 
cd ..
 
source etc/bashrc
 
 
# This next command will take a while... somewhere between 30 minutes to 3-6 hours.
 
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
 
 
#Run it a second time for getting a summary of the installation
 
./Allwmake > make.log 2>&1
 
</bash></li>
 
 
<li>To check if everything went well:
 
<bash>#Check if icoFoam is working
 
icoFoam -help
 
 
#Edit the file "make.log" and check if there are any error messages
 
#Example:
 
gedit make.log
 
 
#Create a tarball in case you've seen any errors (it's the first error that matters)
 
#or if you don't understand the output
 
#and attach the file "make.log.tar.gz" to a post in the designated thread
 
tar -czf make.log.tar.gz make.log
 
</bash></li>
 
 
<li>Now build swak4Foam:
 
<bash>ThirdParty/AllMake.stage5 > log.AllMake.stage5 2>&1
 
ThirdParty/AllMake.stage5 > log.AllMake.stage5 2>&1
 
</bash>
 
</li>
 
 
<li>Now you can go read the User Guide, which is located at {{tt|$HOME/foam/foam-extend-3.0/doc/Guides-a4/UserGuide.pdf}}.</li>
